FS#2392 config useslash to cover full UI not only URLs

Customization

2011-11-26HansBKK

It would be nice IMO if the useslash option could completely shield the colon syntax from the UI, so that everywhere a user now sees namespace:page, she would now see namespace/page. the slash syntax is known and understood everywhere, and having the users' view of pagenames - as titles on pages, tooltips on links, etc be consistent with the URL and actual file locations, would make the whole user experience more coherent.

Note I am not advocating that DW's internals stop using the colon delimiter, just wherever the full namespace+pagename strings are presented to the site visitor.

This would be a major effort as every place that cleans an ID would need to decide if the ID is used for display purposes or for internal use. And often it is both. I don't see the benefit to justify the amount of work and introduction of many possible error sources.
